Nothing new

Rating: 7/10 (2 October 2005)

I have just watched "The Island" and for once i find that Hollywood has made a movie with a storyline instead of just pretty effects (shock horror) but the storyline is very old.Man escapes from facility could live a normal life but goes back to save all the others!I personally think this film is a hash of a few others 1)Escape and go back to save everybody else "Logans Run", 2)Living in a world that is not as it seems "Matrix" or "The Village" etc.On the other hand the film was still good with a nice mix of story and action and the first chase on the freeway was very well done with very nice effects. I would have given this a higher score but for the rehashing of old script ideas but it gets the score it does for the good acting and that fact that there WAS a story.
